I don't expect Michigan to win this game. It actually could get ugly. All I want is for Michigan to man up, play insanely hard, and not become State's punk bitch again.

It's ok to lose to a better team and better coaches. It's NOT ok to play soft and wimpy. Let State know they are willing to scratch, claw, and fight the entire game. You do that and you can hold your head high no matter what the outcome.

Illinois tried their hardest to lose too. Could run the clock out but instead call a real play and get called for holding which stops the clock. Then they have to punt it back which winds up ending the game but they get called for holding which gives minn one more untimed down. Beckmann really has no clue how to win

You should take pride in everything that you do. Playing for pride is not a consolation prize. It should be first and foremost. If you play hard and prideful, all else will fall in place. If you are not proud of the way you play, then it is not worth doing...Like Bo said be the best that you can at the job you have now.
